of the Rev. j. J. Engle, living near
Berryville. This promising young

short his life had taken such a hold
upon his system as to deny him the
exercise of his pulpit powers.

On the afternoon of May 10th,

lated to me this incident. Said he,
e while lying there suffering, bleed

Ger, with gray beard and gray head
and upon a gray horse, rode by me,
and when he got beside me he halted
and with great kindness asked me If

He turned at once 10 one of hrs sol.
diers and said to him, Take this mar
back to the rear and treat him kindly.
When he was gone inquired, who i:
that officer, and was surprised tc
learn that it was Gen. Lee. couldn"
help crying. Never while live shall
1 forget that kind and generous ac
of the commander of n hostile army

said he. No excitement or fury Of

President Cleveland recently di-
rected the return of ali the flags in the
custody of the War Department to the
authorities of the respective States in
which the regiments which bore them
were organized, for such final dispo-
sition as they might determine. The
President afterwards rescindcd the
order, (Which had been made on the
recommendation of Adjutant General
Drum, Union soldier and a Rcpub-
Ncan4l finding that such retsrn &c is
NOT authorized by existing Jaw nor
justified as an executive act" Chief
Fairchild, of the G. A. r., and other
fanatics, have since been wildly way
ing the ensanguined garment over
the subject, and would like to make
political capital out of the affair."
The President, however preserves his
equinimity, and the country will yet
be saved
